1. Accuracy and Transparency
- All posts, profiles, and listings must represent the business, product, or service accurately.
- Misleading, exaggerated, or false claims are prohibited.
- If you use promotional phrases (like “#1 in the city” or “guaranteed results”), you must be able to substantiate them.
